7. There's something I've always wondered regarding Musk.

He's not regarded as a stupid person.

I don't understand why Musk would help Trump come to power without being fully aware of Trump's character. I don't understand how Musk could be so short-sighted in seeking political favors from Trump without realizing the danger he'd face if (when) Trump turned on him. How could Musk not foresee that?

Another angle, though, involves Putin.

Musk has been in contact with Putin and Putin controls (or seems to control) Trump. Maybe Musk has assurance from Putin that he'll be protected from Trump. But then, why would Musk trust Putin?
